Could be a good time to have a think about the logic of telling customers where they are in a "queue".
Especially when it is not concrete and you show customers a bizzare rearward shifting of their position which can wind people up.
Maybe an explanation of why that's happening?

I ordered the 4GB card last night and I just got an e-mail saying it's been packed and is in the process of being shipped - does that mean I can expect it tomorrow/Thursday or is that just a standard e-mail? Sorry I'm a pre-order newbie
4gb Nitro?
I might see if I can cancel mine and replace it with a 4gb one if there's stock going spare.
Only play at 1080p so the 8gb isn't a big deal I guess.
Yep, just got a text to confirm it'll be delivered tomorrow so I guess they must have a few in!

jealous.
OMG! You won't believe how unlucky I was!
Got my card today only to have to return it on the same day!
I came back home from work, all super-excited from the DPD notification, and sure enough there it was... An OCUK package on the table waiting for me!
I opened it with that sweet anticipation... urgently but carefully at the same time.
The box was wrapped in transparent protective packaging which I quickly ripped off to get to the box. The Sapphire Nitro+ OC RX480 was finally in my hands!
It was then, when I noticed...
I mean, had not even opened the box yet! But...
...I started looking...
...and looking...
...and looking...
Alas... it was for naught... There was nothing to be found... No Haribos anywhere!
Sure enough I taped the protective packaging back around the box, wrapped it up in paper, with the OCUK return address and off it went to the courier!
NOT! OF COURSE THERE WERE HARIBOS AS WELL!

I wouldn't hold your breath, I ordered last week and haven't got one yet so ordering now isn't going to get you an instant 480.

Have to say I'm impressed how quite it is. Not had a long gaming session yet but compared to my old 280X is silent. lol
Even in windows my old 280x was quite but this takes it to whole new level of silence. Couple of times both fans completely switched them self off.
e: like right now

You must be happy with that improvement. Nice scores.
I just wish they would fix these crappy drivers so I can go back to a 250OC on the Mem.

Very good scores
From what i have read Wattman as it stands is not really working well .For example when ASUS RX480 AIB was tested they could reach 1360 stable but no further with it , when they changed to ASUS software they could OC it to 1400 no problem .I am not an expert but it seems to me like Wattman needs more TLC before it will work properly?Use DDU to remove all drivers.
Then install the previous driver including Radeon Settings, then download and install the newest driver being sure to un-check Radeon Settings. This will give you the old Wattman that allows 2250 mem, but still with the newer drivers.

Haha sorry. Well after couple of hours in a game it gets louder but not too bad. Definitely nowhere near the 280x turbine noise lol

Which 280X?
I had the Msi which wasn't particularly noisy so if it's more quiet than that I'll be happy.
